WIRE-SPOOLI'NG MACH|NE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,842, dated February 19,1884.

Application mea May 24,1883. (No model.) Y

' wire onto the spool upon which it is being wound oft` the coil, of which the following is a specication.

The object of the invention is to dispense With the manual labor employed in guiding the wire from the coil onto the spool upon which it is being wound; and it consists, essentially, of a grooved pulley suitably supported and operated bymechanism arranged to impart a reciprocating movement to the said pulley in such a manner that the Wire passing around it shall be guided in regular convolutions from end to end of the spool, as hereinafter more particularly explained.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the machine. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail of the spindle F, showing the right andleft hand screws a b. Fig. Slis an enlarged detail, showing the shape of the pin H. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail', showing the shape of the inside of the cap to the bearing G'.

A is the coil of wire, carried on a suitable reel, and, after passing around the pulley- B, is connected to the spool C. The pulley B is grooved, so as to retain the wire passing around it, and is journaled on a bar, D. This bar is pivoted at D', and is forked at its other end, E, so as to't into a groove made in the end of the spindle F. This spindle F is carried in suitable bearings, G Gr', and is parallel, so that it will move longitudinally in the said bearings. A coarse-pitched right-hand thread, a, is cut on the spindle F through the bearing G', and a left-hand threadof the same pitch is also cut at the same point, so that the ends of the left-hand thread shall intersect with the ends of the right-hand thread.

H is a pin passing through one of the bearings G', and extends into the thread c ut, as described, on the spindle. Owing to the fact that the right-hand and left-hand threads a and b are cut so that their ends shallV intersect with each other, the pin H, which is fixed and extends into the thread, prevents any longitudinal movement in the spindle when stationary; but when the spindle is caused to re- 1 and left hand thread cut onV it, so that volve, a reciprocating longitudinal movement .is imparted to the spindle F by the right and left hand thread acting against the pin H.

I is a guide extending from the frame J of the machine.

K is a friction-roller journaled in a bracket xed to the pivoted bar D. This guide I constitutes a solid resistance to the pull of the wire being wound on the spool C, While the roller `K prevents Yany undue friction which v might be caused by the said strain.

When about to wind the wire from the coil A onto the spool O, the wire is passed once around the pulley B, and then connected tov the spool C. The spool is then caused to revolve, and, corresponding with that action, a similar movement is imparted to the spindle F. Then, owing to the action ofthe pin H in the grooves 0i and b, a longitudinal reciprocating movement is imparted to the spindle, the revolving and reciprocating movement oi' the spindle being timed, so as to Wind the wire A in regular convolutions around the spool C.

On reference to Fig. 3 `it will be seen that the pin AH hasl a crescent-shaped end, H', and formed to fit into the thread a b, thus giving a good bearing to the pin H in the said thread. As the angle of this crescent H' will be altered each time that it changes from the right to the left hand thread, provision is to be made to permit .of this adjustment without permitting the pin H to revolve altogether. To permit this adjustment, I form a groove, h, in the cap ofthe bearingG, as shown in Fig.`4, a little Wider than the crescent H', which fits into the groove h.

What I claim as my invention is*d o l. In a wire-spooling machine, the combi nation,with a wire-guide and a spindle carried in suitable bearings constructed to give motion to said wire-guide, and having' a right of one thread shall intersect with the other,of a pin, H, fixed in the spindle-bearings fitting into the threads, so that the spindle,\vhen revolving, shall have a reciprocating longitudinal movement imparted to it and impart the same to the wire-guide, substantially as and for the purpose specified. Y.

the end IOO 2. In a wire-spooling machine, the combination of a guiding-pulley, B, interposed between the coil and spool, and mechanism arranged to impart a reciprocating movement to the said pulley in such a manner that the wire passing around it shall be guided onto the spool in regular eonvolutions, substantially A to the spool C, in combination with the piu H, fixed in the spindle-bearing, and the revolving spindle F,having a right-hand thread, a, cut on it, and intersecting with the lefthand thread b, so that the end of the pin II, fitting into the threads, will impart a reciprocating longitudinal movement to the revolving spindle, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
